Aid is pouring into Haiti as one of the poorest countries tries to recover from a devastating earthquake.
Officials feared the death toll from the devastating earthquake could reach into the tens of thousands. Cargo planes with food, water, medical supplies, shelter and sniffer dogs are headed to the Caribbean island located a few hundred miles from Florida. The news is filled with horrific images of destroyed homes, injured people and dead children. But the response from some conservatives is even more disturbing than seeing dead children on TV.
After this latest rant, I don’t even believe Pat Robertson is a Christian, let alone a minister. The former Republican Presidential candidate and “Christian Broadcasting Network's” "700 Club" founder and host blamed the earthquake in Haiti on the Haitian people's alleged “pact with Satan.”
He blamed the earthquake in Haiti on the Haitian people's alleged pact with Satan.
"They said, 'we will serve you if you will get us free from the French,'" Robertson said on his show. "True story. And so, the devil said, 'okay it's a deal.' And they kicked the French out. You know, the Haitians revolted and got themselves free. But ever since, they have been cursed by one thing after the other."
Unbelievable. True story? Where, in his warped mind? Perhaps he forgot some 80 percent of Haitians are Catholic.
The right will use any thing to attack President Obama no mater how small or how much of a leap they have to make. The leader of the Republican Party and scumbag Rush Limbaugh said Obama would use Haiti to get closer to the “light-skinned and dark-skinned black [communities] in this country.”
Limbaugh has a history of blaming the victims, especially dark-skinned ones like he did the victims of Hurricane Katrina. He has even attacked Haiti in the past. In May when former President Bill Clinton was appointed as UN special envoy to Haiti, Limbaugh had this to say, "I'm just gonna tell you, if I was named envoy to Haiti, I'd quit government. Envoy to Haiti? You can't even pick up a prostitute down there without genuine fear of AIDS."
He would know.
Limbaugh was detained by authorities in 2006 when they found a bottle of Viagra in his bag at Palm Beach International Airport. The prescription was not in his name. He was returning from a vacation in neighboring Dominican Republic.

Your misinformation is astounding. First, because Robertson blames the earthquake on a pact with satan (if he did), you attribute it to all Conservatives. By that reasoning, because Harry Reid and Bill Clinton made racist comments, that makes you a racist.
Second, Limbaugh did not blame "dark skinned" people for Hurricane Katrina. What he did do was blame the people for depending on the government to get them out of their homes prior to the hurricane. He blamed, rightfully so, the Governor of Louisiana for not putting out the evacuation notice in plenty of time for people to get out. Bush declared it a disaster area four days before the hurricane hit. Governor Blanco didn't put out the evacuation order until 24 hours before the hurricane hit. Then there was Mayor Ray Nagin who didn't use the 2,000 buses at his disposal to help move people out. The buses drowned along with over 1,000 people.
The ironic part of the whole fiasco was that New Orleans didn't get hit with the worst of the hurricane. Mississippi did.
This is another example of you embellishing the stories to fit your bias. But your bias doesn't fit with the facts.
Show me some misinformation, anonymous. Are you doubting Robertson made them? Do you want to see the video? Conservatives, or you, are not condemning them. Harry Reid and Bill Clinton didn’t make racist comments, and their actions certainly demonstrate that they are not.

Bullshit. Limbaugh certainly did blame the victims of Katrina. The blame for the loss of life rests with Bush. You can try to all you want to float those debunked lie again, but that’s what they are.
This is another example of you embellishing the stories to fit your bias. But your bias doesn't fit with the facts.
Lets pray for preacher Pat Robertson So that he can come out from such mind.
We must pray for Haitian So that they over such a massive disaster.
That’s great, but there is one problem with your comment; you need to remove the title “preacher” from in front of Robertson’s name
